Powering up a pantry near you
- A Super Target deserves a Super List. In 2020, Target introduced Drive Up, a service that allows users to order online and pick up groceries the
same day. - When Target launched this service, they were positioning themselves to take on a $17 billion dollar industry, making meal planners’ lives easier in
the process. - The Target Super List
uses computer vision and machine learning to scan
users’ shelves, take inventory, and suggest recipes based on the available ingredients. - When an ingredient isn’t available, it can be easily added to a shopping list for Target Drive Up, reducing food waste and saving time for users.

Process
- I started this project off with
a design sprint involving the three main disciplines in product: Engineering,
Product and Design. - Since this is a spec project,
I had Chat GPT fill in for my usual collaborators, and it performed surprisingly well! - Product GPT and I were fairly aligned on the product vision, and Product GPT even suggested something
I hadn’t considered. - Engineering GPT focused
more on crypto and security concerns, which I found interesting. Once again,
I was surprised by the
quality of the suggestions.
